Light at the end of the tunnel🔥 Last night i drove 500km from Helsinki to Oulu… I was a bit bummed that I had to drive instead of shooting stars like some of my friends… But still i needed to get something done so I pulled over couple of times to see if I could get the milk aligned with the endless road. This was a 5 min pit stop and I managed to get 9 frames before the line of trucks came to ruin things👌🏼😍 . . #longexposure #nightphotography #moodygrams #lonelyplanet #newmilkyway #longexpoelite #longexposureoftheday #longexposure_shots #nightsky #night_excl #bongaalinnunrata #lensbible #igworld_global #nightscaper #ig_shotz_le #astrophotography #astrography_ #beautyofsuomi #discoverfinland #ig_captures #earth_shotz #earthofficial #earthpix #earth #igersmood #ourfinland #thebestoffinland #allbeauty_addiction #finland #worldshotz

Tag a friend who might enjoy this Milky Way image and journey! — From Keith about this image: — SINGLE SOCIAL: facebook.com/keithburkephotography instagram.com/keith_burke_photography EXIF: Nikon D810 | Sigma 20mm 1.8 Art Single image @ 20mm | ISO 4000 | 20 sec | f/2.0 Two weeks ago I visited the Bodie Lighthouse hoping to capture some Milky Way. The night was a partial success as clouds were pretty persistent throughout the entire night. At first I wasn’t a fan of this shot because I thought the clouds would ruin it. After some post processing, the clouds and haze seemed to enhance the actual photo by highlighting the Ray’s from the light emitting the lighthouse. This lighthouse has a single light that blinks twice in succession every twenty seconds so timing this wasn’t to difficult. Of course the light is blown out highlight wise, but from my other images, timing the light to not cause the highlights to blown out would eliminate the light rays, which in my opinion, make this image all the more interesting. Sacrifices. Single image, processed in Adobe Camera Raw and PS.

From Chris about this image:

STACKED instagram.com/randommegabytes “Star Stage” Stage harbor lighthouse is one of the many lighthouses on Cape Cod. As you can see, it doesn’t have the light any more as it was decommissioned many moons ago. In fact, it’s privately owned and you can’t want to the lighthouse. There was actually a little party going on (hence the lights on in the house). The foreground is lit up by Chatham Lighthouse (that’s the 2 lights on the ground too), which is a few miles to the north. There was another flashing light just to the right of the frame I had to avoid. I’ve had this shot in mind for about a year. I wanted to line up the bright part of the Milky Way with the lighthouse so it seemed to come out the top. I used a 35mm lens to try to get the width of the MW and lighthouse to be about the same. This shot was a little more challenging than I had hoped. My mom decided to come with me. It’s about a 0.8 mile walk on a sandy trail that isn’t exactly easy for someone closing in on 70. At the end of the trail, the mosquitoes were… awful. Since I got us there early to check everything out, we ended up walking back down the trail. I then thought about shooting the Coast Guard lighthouse in Chatham, but that wasn’t happening. So I literally ran back down the trail to get this shot. In the process I got over 25 bites just on my ankles so that was pleasant. On the upside, I got the shot I wanted and the place to myself. There is a ton of light pollution and marine moisture in the area so unfortunately I didn’t get the MW right down to the top of the stack, but the flag sticks out more which is nice. I hope you enjoy!

So in 2 weeks I did 3 crazy trips and this was number two to Great Basin National Monument with @SaolyBensonPhoto… We got there in the morning so we did a Lehman Cave tour and then set up camp as well as met up with my friend Gretchen who works at GB… we decided to hike to Teresa and Stella Lake to shoot the Milky Way that night and we got a head start but Gretchen caught up to us on the way in.. we hit Stella Lake right before sunset and decided to hike to Teresa to scope it out… The water level was pretty low so we decided that Stella was our spot and made the hike back.. It was coming up on Blue Hour as we got our equipment set up so I shot a number of foreground shots while I waited for the MW to make her appearance… I love the way a blue hour Milky Way looks and that’s what I have here in this photo… The 3rd part of the blend was for the water which I had to color correct to match the sky…

From Julian about this image:

PANO instagram.com/lepeolmedo facebook.com/julian.olmedo.96 Hi everyone, Julian from Argentina here! I was planning this pano for few months, so in my last photographic travel alone (first time without company) I decided to find it near a beautiful Lake in Mendoza, Argentina, called Los Reyunos. The silent there was incredible, you literally can hear the nothing. I wait for a few hours until the milky way was horizontal, and start the shooting with delay timer to make the selfie ?. Was a little challenge because I don`t have a good tripod head, with a little patience I think it turned out well.

From Matt about this image:

PANO/TRACKED/BLEND The weekend of the eclipse I drove up Highway 1 to get up to the totality in Oregon. I have wanted to check out Samuel Boardman State Park for a long time. The road up was plagued with road construction so I arrived a little after dark. I had some sea stacks that I really wanted to see but it was a little difficult to find them in the dark and with a limited window to catch the Milky Way I was worried that I wouldn’t get a good foreground. Luckily I ran into hookphoto and he had done a little scouting and found this spot. On another note, I tried to stop on the way home and there but there was a wall of fog from Lincoln City to California. So I’m happy to get some clear skies.

On my way to Sawtooth Lake right now w/ @matthewsavillephoto & Sean Goebel and stopped to take this photo at Alpine Lake… it’s been a rough hike for me because I started on a Keto/no carb diet a few weeks ago and I didn’t realize how hard it would make backpacking a 55-60lb pack up to 8300 ft.. lol.. no matter, I’m doing it and can’t wait to get there… time to get my pack back on and onward and upward!!! Ps: I better lose like 10lbs of fat after this lol!!

PANO SOCIAL instagram.com/camiloj_universe fb.com/Universe-973301619358398 STORY On my first steps on astro photography in July 2015. Me and my friends were looking some stars to learn making panoramic photographies, but the moon was hiding at 1am as Crescent moon. i decided to make my panoramic Photo on the exact moment when moon was on the horizon. That gives me a blue tone color on the sky and the enough light for water and landscape. Finally this was the result of that experience which today is a recurrent technique.

From Margot about this image:

SINGLE fb.com/MargotKelleyPhotography Instagram.com/margot_kelley_photography The road that rings Crater Lake was under construction when I went to scope out this location last Friday afternoon. Rim Drive would only be open to the public for two nights. We lucked out! As the sun set behind us, we watched the stars start to the show themselves as dusk rolled into night. The old, gnarled tree reminds me of an ancient, wizened grandfather watching over the caldera, ringed by the galaxy. Thank you to the members of this group for their openness and advice. There was one photographer (I can’t find his name) who helped me locate this tree — if you are reading this, THANK YOU!!! The foreground light is from another photographer who was checking his settings/shot. EXIF:

For some reason I really miss Iceland these days! I gotta go back soon 🙂 Here’s Kirkjufell with some beautiful colors during the late hours of the day. Ever seen my series of videos from Iceland? Link in bio.

From Amirreza about this image:

Single instagram.com/amirrezakamkar nightscapepics.com I had the amazing opportunity to be at the Avenue of the Baobabs at night. Such a wonderful experience that I never forget. The Milky Way is high in the sky in this southern latitude and the dark sky of this place made the view more amazing. Here the crescent Moon is setting and lighten up the foreground and cast a blue color on the sky.

From Collin about this image:

BLEND Finally got the shot I have been waiting for. This is my mountain, my home. Mt.Shasta is a thing of beauty! Went out around 1am, pulled up off the road and saw the milky way wasn’t quite lining up with the mountain. Scuttled up on the tracks and it lined up perfectly! It’s amazing how much the positioning can change just by moving 20feet. Nothing fake about this photo. There was indeed a train coming around the bend as I was finishing my foreground shot, added some great context to the photo. I have improved rapidly with Milky Way shots and this is my best yet:) * * * * Shot with Sony A7 + 55mm Zeiss. Two different exposures. One for foreground and other for stars.

I went scouting for new night shot locations last week and found this cool tree remnant high above the timberline, far off the beaten path. It was the best night out I’ve had this Milky Way season so far.

From Ari about this image:

PANO SOCIAL Instagram.com/arirex1 FB.com/AriRexPhotographer arirex.com.au STORY “The full arch of the Milky Way from Canberra” What a release and a great feeling of accomplishment, finally bringing this shot out of my head into life. I wasn’t even sure if it was going to work. So my goal was to capture the full arch of the Milky Way within Canberra. I had the location (National Arboretum Canberra.) I was just waiting for the right moment (that happened at minus 7 degrees last Tuesday very early morning). The WG Moon set an hour earlier behind the tree. This was the most optimal position of the Milky Way with it’s core at 11 o’clock forming a pleasing composition triangle with myself and the tree. A bit on the left and the lights of the Woden suburb would have faded the start of the arch, same thing on the right side with the lights of Belconnen . All around this image is very bright from the Canberra lights in which helped a lot lighting the foreground evenly. Using ETTR I found the boundary safe spot of highlights to not clip both sides of the image,, they were my main concern. I knew I had the shot while inspecting the Histogram in all the pieces of the puzzle from the back of the camera, but I wasn’t sure until editing the final image. EXIF

Congratulations to Evan Leith. “I call this one… ‘my sleeping habits hate me’,” says Evan. || Please show support to our guest artists by visiting their IG gallery. – MORE from Evan: This is a blended & stacked image. I’m trying to get better at manual stacking and blending, but there always seems to be flaws with the end product (tree edges and top left corner stacking) and I get impatient/bored after manually stacking around the 4th image or so. Anyways, @michaeldbentz and I headed up to the White Mountains to two locations last week, this being the first. The clouds moved out except for one pesky orographic cloud that capped a mountain top to our south. It was a beautiful scene and I’m happy with how this one came out!

From Joseph about this image:

BLEND fb.com/CarlooftheForest instagram.com/carlooftheforest carlooftheforest.com The planning for this photo started a month prior when I saw a photo by instagram user @johnentwistle_photography. Before seeing his Montauk shot, I didn’t know it was possible to photograph the Milky way relatively close to where I live. (in North Jersey where the sky is drowned out by New York City’s lights) With the new moon falling on the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend, I ventured out to Montauk, NY from North Jersey around 5pm. Being one of the busiest weekends to travel, it took me 4 hours to reach my destination instead of the normal 2.5hr. I arrived to a cloudy and rainy beach, without a star in the sky. Scouting out the location, was an adventure on its own as this was my first time to Montauk and I wasn’t sure exactly where to go. I walked along the main road and saw a path through some vegetation. With my headlamp on, I ventured down the curvy downhill trail which led to the sandy beach. The sound of the ocean’s waves crashing ashore occupied my senses. Midnight stuck and the sky was still cloud covered. My weather app said it would clear up around 2am so I decided to walk back to my car and take a nap but before I did that, I looked up one more time. Some stars were peeking through so I walked back to the beach and set up. Starting at 1am, I got 40 minutes of clear skies before the clouds returned for the remainder of the night.
